Answer: The softer barrier is the better option
Explanation:
1) When is a car is moving at a certain speed, it has a certain amount of momentum (p=mv). A collision against a barrier would cause its momentum to decrease to 0. A change in momentum is Impulse
2) The formula for Impulse: J = f * Δt
J is Impulse
f is the force applied during the time Δt
A tough barrier would produce a smaller Δt, which means more force is applied on the car. (J is always constant)
A softer barrier would apply less force on the car, which means Δt is large.
Answer: The softer barrier is the better option
Density <em>ρ</em> is mass <em>m</em> per unit volume <em>v</em>, or
<em>ρ</em> = <em>m</em> / <em>v</em>
Solving for <em>v</em> gives
<em>v</em> = <em>m</em> / <em>ρ</em>
So the given object has a volume of
<em>v</em> = (130 g) / (65 g/cm³) = 2 cm³
Math is the process of using the given information, along with
all the general stuff that you know, to find the missing information.
With no given information, we have no way to even guess at
an answer.
